Chapter 217 - Chapter 213: Esdeath VS Unohana Retsu

Back when she was training at Kamar-Taj, Lux had used it once in front of Mordo.

At the time, Mordo didn't believe in such things and didn't think Lux's so-called "light" had any power other than blinding people.

Then... that light cannon flew past the Himalayas, nearly shearing off half a mountain peak. It was only thanks to her hand shaking and missing the mark that the measurement data for the World's highest peak in geography textbooks wasn't rewritten by Lux on a whim.

The Ancient One didn't blame Lux that time, but instead made Mordo, who had provoked the incident, sweep the toilets for a month, which generated quite a bit of villainess points for Lux.

But this time, there was no way to make Mordo take the fall.

The Ancient One directly issued a ban, telling Lux to reflect on her actions and explicitly ordering her not to use any spells other than portals for the time being.

This made Mordo incredibly smug.

That guy had finally managed to score a win, and he had been flaunting it in front of Lux for the past few days.

Lux found him annoying, so she decided that out of sight, out of mind. She opened a portal and ran back to New York, treating it as a few days of vacation for herself.

Actually, Lux knew in her heart that the Ancient One had been quite merciful to her, and she couldn't be too spoiled.

After all, the Battle of New York had caused such a stir that the Ancient One must have noticed Galio's existence.

Even if the Sorcerer Supreme didn't yet know the exact relationship between that Petricite statue and Lux, once the current commotion died down, Lux would inevitably be called in for questioning.

However, precisely because of this forced vacation, Lux had plenty of time to stay in New York and spend all day fooling around with Jinx.

It was just that the current relationship between these two girls...

Su Modie stroked her chin, her gaze scanning back and forth between Lux and Jinx, her eyes gradually becoming teasing.

It seemed this strange "Jin-Ke-La" duo...

Their relationship lately had become a bit too close. Stared at directly by Su Modie's seemingly all-seeing eyes, both Lux and Jinx subconsciously averted their gazes, a slight, uneasy blush appearing on their fair cheeks.

However, Su Modie was quite happy to see this happen and even encouraged it.

After all, what could be more effective at making this group of Villainesses with distinct personalities more united than developing a bond that transcended friendship?

Especially since they were two beautiful, innocent girls in the prime of their adolescence.

Su Modie had always relied on "such things" to strengthen the cohesion of her own camp.

You two... ah no, the three of us living a good life together is better than anything.

Cough cough...

However, while some Villainesses were well-behaved and easy to worry about, naturally, some Villainesses were not so easy to manage.

On the other side, inside the Mirror Dimension.

One could only say that Lux's spell was indeed too practical.

As long as the Mirror Dimension was opened, Unohana Retsu and Esdeath were essentially stuffed into an isolated extra-dimensional sandbox. No matter how they struggled inside, it wouldn't cause the slightest ripple in the real World.

The only drawback was the fear that Lux might forget about it...

If she didn't open the door, the people inside would be lost forever in this folded dimension.

It sounded like quite a risk, but there was no other way.

If these two women really got carried away, a mere Fisk Tower wouldn't be enough for them to tear down.

What about a field battle then?

Su Modie meant, going to some deserted wilderness?

That wasn't realistic either.

After all, the satellites of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. government weren't just for show.

Out of options, Su Modie could only have Lux cast a spell to create a dedicated sparring ground for them.

At this moment, Unohana Retsu and Esdeath were engaged in a hearty, chaotic battle within the space.

Just in case, Isane had also been sent in to observe, with the duty of preventing these two from getting seriously injured in their frenzy. But right now, rather than fulfilling her duties as a medic, Isane herself was so frightened she was like a startled quail, huddled in the farthest corner.

For no other reason than the Reiatsu and killing intent emitted by the clash of these two top-tier powerhouses were too terrifying.

Even just watching from afar, Isane felt her legs go weak.

Unlike her Captain's twisted logic of "learning medicine just to enjoy killing more."

Isane was truly just a simple healer.

Combat power was her weak point, let alone a situation where "gods" were fighting.

Zooming out, within that crimson sea of blood transformed from Minazuki, the two were locked in a fierce struggle.

Esdeath stomped her military boots, and wherever she went, the surging blood was frozen into ice.

She forcibly carved out an icy path through the corrosive sea of blood.

Unohana Retsu held that blood-dripping scimitar in one hand, her pace leisurely yet carrying a suffocating pressure as she continuously closed in.

Scared me to death.

"Clang—!"

Blades suddenly collided, erupting in a visible wave of violent air.

With just one hard clash, a layer of fine sweat broke out on Esdeath's forehead.

The web of her hand holding the sword went faintly numb, and even the muscles in her arm were trembling slightly.

Such a heavy blade...

But this was only the first strike.

Unohana Retsu's slashes were continuous like a violent storm. Her wide, sweeping stance looked less like sparring and more like a unilateral venting of frustration.

The force of each slash was even much heavier than when she had fought Loki before.

Clearly, Flower Sister was a very vengeful person.

Since you stole my kill, then you can fill my unsatisfied bloodlust yourself.

Facing such a violent offensive, Esdeath had no room to counter and could only retreat step by step.

Seeing her defense about to be torn apart, she decisively used the force to leap back several meters and raised her hand for a Weissschnabel.

Raising her hand for a strike.

Large patches of sharp ice crystals condensed out of thin air, shooting towards Unohana Retsu like a torrential downpour.

Weissschnabel!

Facing the incoming rain of ice, Unohana Retsu remained calm.

She swung the blood blade in her hand casually, and a crimson wave of blood roared out.

Not only did it shatter all the ice crystals in the sky, but the residual force transformed into a crescent-shaped slash, heading straight for Esdeath's face.

Esdeath gritted her silver teeth, about to raise her sword to block it head-on.

In that split second, Unohana Retsu's figure suddenly vanished in a blur.

Hearing the sound of breaking wind, that woman who looked like a demon had already used Shunpo to suddenly appear behind Esdeath!

A wave of blood in front, and a sharp blade behind.

In this pincer-like death trap, there was no retreat and no defense!

A strong sense of life-and-death crisis made the hair on Esdeath's body stand on end.

Her pupils constricted sharply, and her hands formed seals at the fastest speed in front of the black mark on her chest.

Mahapadma

"Mahapadma!"

"Hum—"

A circle of dark blue energy fluctuated with Esdeath at the center, suddenly spreading out like a rising tide.

In an instant, the entire space was dyed a deep, dark blue.

Time was frozen.
